2. Princess Bazaar

The next day, Leon was still so busy, from the morning when he got up, he helped clean the dining room and kitchen, until noon, when the royal feast began, he was busy serving food in the dining room. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info once, when he served food in the restaurant, just in time for Princess Charlotte and Prince Felix to toast the guests who came to the banquet. In fact, at this time, Princess Charlotte had inherited the throne and became the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. She was very young, as if she were only twenty-two or three years old, and she wore an incomparably splendid long dress and a golden crown, and she was extremely beautiful and incomparably noble. Even more noble and beautiful than that Cleopatra. And her husband was dressed in military clothes and carried a long sword, looking very handsome and mighty. The people who came to the wedding were either members of the royal family or high-ranking officials of the country. There were four or five hundred of them, and the entire royal banquet hall was packed. As they sipped, they toasted and blessed the wedding of the noblest and most powerful couple of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

However, what Leon wanted to see most was the girl named Bazaar. However, he went around the whole restaurant and didn't see her. So he asked his cousin Krabert. Because he has always worked as a hired worker in the royal kitchen, he is still more or less familiar with the situation of the royal family. His cousin told him that the girl was just a distant relative of Prince Felix's family. Because both parents died and there was no one to take care of them, they were fostered in the house of Prince Felix. Hearing this, he felt uncomfortable for a while, and felt that her parents were dead, and she was just as pitiful as him.

It was a very busy day, Leon barely left the kitchen, and the dishes were piled up and he couldn't finish washing. Because it was inconvenient to wash the dishes with cotton yarn wrapped in his hands, Leon removed the bandage early. However, Leon still felt that the wound on his hand was much better. However, in the afternoon, when he had washed the piles of dishes, he felt much more relaxed. Because the evening was a court ball, the royal family did not have to serve dinner for the guests, and there would not be so many dishes for him to wash.

After dinner, Leon sat down at a table in the kitchen. Although on the opposite side of the kitchen is the royal court's ball. There were brilliant lights and wonderful secluded music drifting from there from time to time, but Leon was not interested in music and balls. He was waiting for Bazaar to arrive.

After a while, Bazaar came over, still with the gauze and medicine in her hands. As soon as she came, she looked at the wound on Leon's hand, then frowned and said, "Why is it not healed yet?"

"Actually, it's a little better, but I've been washing the dishes for another day, so the wound is infected again." ”

Basha knew that he had to do a lot of work, so she didn't blame him, and then she began to dress his wounds very carefully. Leon, on the other hand, secretly took some ice cream out of the freezer and gave it to Bazaar. He knew that Bazaar loved this ice cream.

However, she usually can't eat it, because this ice cream is used to entertain very distinguished guests. Stealing this food from the kitchen freezer was very convenient and easy for Leon. Therefore, he entertained Bazaar in this way to win her favor and make her happy. Because there is a lot of ice cream in the kitchen cabinet, and no one enters the kitchen at night.

Bazaar was indeed very fond of ice cream, and after eating ice cream, she was very happy and began to tell Leon some interesting stories. That day, she told him the story Snow White. The story immerses him in a wonderful imagination and puts him in the storyline of a beautiful legend. So, when he went to bed at night, he couldn't sleep for a long time, and he thought, isn't she Snow White? Because she is so beautiful and kind, just like Snow White in the story.

Because she can surprise and bring him happiness every day, being with her has become a moment he looks forward to and yearns for every day. Although he was busy every day, he was very happy in his heart, for he was always looking forward to the evening when he would be with the princess in his heart.

Bazaar speaks German, French, Belgian and English. This made Leon very impressed. So, he asked her why she wanted to learn so many languages. Bazaar first told Leon about the history of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. "Our country was inhabited by the Gauls in 50 BC," she said. By 400 AD it was conquered by Germanic tribes, and later became part of the Frankish Kingdom and the Charles Empire. By 963 AD, Sigfried, Earl of the Ardennes, had united the entire country. However, from the 15th to the 18th centuries, it was ruled by Spain, France and Austria. It was only in 1815 that our country was decided by the European Conference of Vienna to become the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, with the King of the Netherlands as the Grand Duchy and at the same time a member of the German Confederation. In 1868, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg introduced a constitutional monarchy. It was only after 1890 that Luxembourg was completely freed from the rule of the Dutch king. ”

"Because our country is a very small country and has been ruled by many neighboring powers, we speak several languages, and our official languages are French, German and Luxembourgish. French is used for administration, justice and diplomacy, German for the press, and our own Luxembourgish is used only for the people. In fact, our Luxembourgish language is also a branch of German. That's why we Luxembourgers speak several languages. ”

Listening to Miss Bazaar's words, Leon slowly understood many truths, one of which was why their country always had to make peace with the neighboring powers, in order to protect their weak country from being annexed and humiliated by other countries. This made him begin to have a sense of national distress in his heart, and also made him understand why people in their country should learn so many languages, just to improve their ability to survive. So, he asked Bazaar to teach him English. Because there are many knowledgeable and literate young people who are learning English.

In the evening, the two of them began teaching English while eating delicious ice cream. Bazaar speaks English very well because she studied English specifically with a tutor from England as a child. The English teacher had been teaching her English for three years, so she was comfortable talking to British people. However, since her parents died in a car accident, she has not been able to continue learning English with that teacher. But she still learns English at the Royal Lycée du Luxembourg.

Leon didn't go to much school because of his family's poverty, but he was smart and he was able to learn what Bazaar taught him quickly. Because he knows some French himself. French and English are spoken in many places.
